Herbalife is a global nutrition and weight management company that offers a range of dietary supplements, weight management products, and personal care products. The company was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
Herbalife's products are sold through a network of independent distributors in over 90 countries around the world. The company's products are designed to support a healthy lifestyle and promote weight loss, energy, and overall well-being.
Herbalife is known for its multi-level marketing (MLM) business model, which allows independent distributors to earn money by selling the company's products and recruiting new distributors into the business. The company has faced criticism over the years for the perceived focus on recruiting new distributors rather than selling products, and for the health claims made about some of its products.
In recent years, Herbalife has faced regulatory challenges in several countries, including the United States, over allegations that it operates a pyramid scheme. The company has denied these allegations and has made changes to its business model and practices to address some of the concerns raised by regulators and critics.
Despite these challenges, Herbalife remains a major player in the global nutrition and weight management industry, and continues to be a popular choice for individuals looking to support a healthy lifestyle.
